THE TAPE IS LOUDER THAN THE HEADLINES
$BTC sits ~$63.9k-$64.9k after
a pre-cpi dip - market cap ~$2.19t
$ETH ~$1.87k - soft risk-off before data
last week was the real print:
spot $BTC etfs ~+$854m-$865m
strongest week in months
IBIT ate ~$694m - ~80% of the board
etfs also green ~+$244m
monday already faded part of it
btc funds ~-$145m - one red day
not a full regime reverse
meanwhile desks flipped tone:
CME hedge funds net long btc again
basis compressed - cash-carry dead
blackrock says btc is soft-decoupling
from equities after the AI equity flush
policy still slow:
CLARITY punted to september floor
odds for 2026 still thin - so this
is not a bill trade
side risk: coinsbuy ~$8m cross-chain
drain - custody noise still feeds
the etf "paper btc" narrative
wed is the catalyst window
US CPI ~3.4% consensus
hold $63k or get hunted into $62k
reclaim needs $65.5k then $67k sth band
flows first - policy later - data tomorrow
